Biography
Owain Glyndwr was the son of Gruffydd Fychan II, and he was a descendant of the Princes of Powys through his father and of those of Deheubarth through his mother. In 1400, he instigated a Welsh revolt against King Henry IV of England, and the uprising rapidly gained control of large areas of Wales. However, the rebels lacked artillery and ships, weakening their offense and defense, respectively. Glyndwr's uprising would be suppressed by King Henry and his son, Henry V of England, and he was driven from the last of his strongholds in 1409. He twice ignored offers of a pardon from Henry V, and he died in 1415. He was the last native Welshman to hold the title "Prince of Wales", although an unofficial king.
